Sam Hendry with today’s highlights from the football betting action Manchester will come to a standstill on Sunday afternoon as the two title favourites go head-to-head for the first time this season. The psychological advantage a victory for Pep Guardiola’s Man City side at the home of their greatest rivals, allied to the subsequent 11-point lead, would leave some in the red half of town raising the white flag. But a victory for Mourinho’s United would ramp up the pressure on City going into the hectic Christmas period and perhaps spark one of the greatest title races in history. Ultimately, though, I think both sides would be content with a draw and the keeping of the status quo with 66 points still left to play for. The template on how to combat City has been […]

Charlie McCann of BetVictor.com looks ahead to an exciting weekend’s racing A wonderful weekend of racing over both codes with the Hong Kong Cup the flat highlight at Sha Tin on Sunday morning and sensational jumping cards on both sides of the Irish Sea over the next 48 hours. Saturday’s Grade 1 action over jumps is the 2m Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown and the betting suggests that Fox Norton (4/7 with BetVictor) is something of a good thing having finished runner up in the Champion Chase back in March before comfortably landing the Shloer Chase on his reappearance. He is a worthy favourite but he jumped lightly out to the left at Cheltenham last time and I just wonder if the progressive Politilogue (2.55) can’t follow up his impressive win in the Haldon Gold […]

Charlie McCann of BetVictor.com has that Friday feeling! Fox Norton (4/7 with BetVictor) will head a field of seven who go to post for Saturday’s Tingle Creek Chase after Douvan, as was expected, was taken out of the race at the 48-hour declaration stage by Willie Mullins who reported that he was not 100% happy with the horse. Gas Line Boy has been rerouted from the Becher Chase (Blaklion 5/2 from 3/1 favourite at BetVictor) to the Grand Sefton Chase over a shorter trip and it would be no surprise if the Ian Williams-trained gelding (7/1 at BetVictor) did not go off market leader for Saturday’s Aintree contest. An Inspection is planned for today’s card at Sedgefield with overnight frost the danger but no such concerns, at the time of writing, expected at Sandown where […]

Charlie McCann of BetVictor.com with Thursday’s best bets Betting was suspended on Saturday’s Tingle Creek yesterday at BetVictor with concern raised on Social Media that antepost favourite Douvan (5/6 favourite at the time) would miss the race with speculation that Un De Sceaux would be the likely Willie Mullins representative at Sandown. It will be interesting to see which inmate, if any, is declared for the Grade 1 contest at the 48-hour stage on Thursday morning. Rain is forecast overnight/early morning for all tomorrow’s turf cards in Britain and conditions are likely to ease at all tracks. We begin our preview at Wincanton where there is a fascinating Mares’ Novices Hurdle featuring the hurdling debutante Petticoat Tails (1.00) last seen finishing third in the Grade 2 Aintree Mares’ Bumper back in the spring. The selection […]

Charlie McCann of BetVictor.com with Tuesday’s best bets The Tingle Creek Chase is the feature Grade 1 contest this weekend at Sandown and Douvan is a shade of odds on at 5/6 with BetVictor to get his career back on track, having fractured his pelvis when unplaced in the Champion Chase when last seen back in March. The noises coming out of the Willie Mullins yard are positive, although he has to prove he retains all his old ability back on the track following his injury. Looking back to Sunday and Death Duty looked as if he would appreciate returning to a left-hand track when landing the Drinmore at Fairyhouse. The Gordon Elliot star was trimmed from 12s to 8/1 with BetVictor for both the JLT and the RSA Novice Chases’ at the Cheltenham Festival […]
